Deliverator: 30 minutes or less! (Restart)

[Rin Kagamine]

>Try to circle so that it's no longer between us and the actual Mima, get close, and shoot her up.

> You can outrun some puny bullets!  You take off, arcing around the circle until you arrive at the Mima-that-looks-off-because-she-doesn't-look-off and manage to get off three shots!
> She twists her way around the shots and sticks her tongue out at you.  Who knew ghosts were so mature?
> You feel the wind pick up as the cyclone gains on you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Close in some more, and figure out the concept of shotgunning on the fly on real Mima.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Close in some more, and figure out the concept of shotgunning on the fly on real Mima.

> You push even closer, Mima grinning as you charge.
> You get about 5 meters from her, with her still not breaking ranking, and unleash a barrage of shots upon her.
> She floats up, allowing most of them to pass through her tail, leading her to grimace. 
> The cyclone is bearing down on you, the other Mimas look on blankly.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep closing it. Take a few shots of opportunity, and run past her.
>Let's see how she likes getting a faceful of cyclone!

[Rin Kagamine]

>Keep closing it. Take a few shots of opportunity, and run past her.
>Let's see how she likes getting a faceful of cyclone!

> You charge forward, taking a few potshots at Mima as you pass beside her.
> You pivot around to watch the cyclone go directly through her!
> Leaving her entirely unhurt.  She throws a few bullets your way as the cyclone continues towards you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Well it was probably irritating, at least.
>Sidestep the bullets, and continue to flee from the cyclone; loop around so that we are coming at Mima again.
>Presume she doesn't try anything, close in like before, as though we were going to shoot her, then hack her with that danmaku knife when in range.

>Presume she doesn't try anything, close in like before, as though we were going to shoot her, then hack her with that danmaku knife when in range.

> You'd settle for minor discomfort really, beggars can't be choosers.
> You easily avoid the bullets, then lead the cyclone through an immense arc, bringing you back through Mima Circle and face to face with the real Mima.
> She takes a stance to dodge your shot, but you unsheathe your knife and slice the tip through her chest as she ducks away from you.
> She falls to the ground with a "GAH!?" as her staff clatters beside her.  The cyclone vanishes immeadiately.
>  After a few seconds she pulls herself up and grabs her staff, giving you a glare that could freeze mercury.  She levels her staff at you and cries "SPARK!"
> A beam of yellow light erupts out of the staff and hurtles towards you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move left now!

[Rin Kagamine]

>Move left now!

> This looks quite painful!
> You dive away as the beam rockets past you.  Mima slowly starts to turn the beam towards you.

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> The beam is still moving and just turning to hit us, correct?
> Rush at Mima and use the Danmaku Knife when within range. Dang, this thing is helpful!

[Hello Purvis]

> The beam is still moving and just turning to hit us, correct?
> Rush at Mima and use the Danmaku Knife when within range. Dang, this thing is helpful!

>Don't do this. We want to win.
>Keep moving left,and fire on her. If she's sending out beams, then she's probably not going to dodge much.

[Rin Kagamine]

> The beam is still moving and just turning to hit us, correct?
> Rush at Mima and use the Danmaku Knife when within range. Dang, this thing is helpful!

> Correct, but it doesn't really seem to be moving.  It's more like a gigantic ray of danmaku stuck on the end of her staff.
> You charge directly at Mima again!

>Don't do this. We want to win.
>Keep moving left,and fire on her. If she's sending out beams, then she's probably not going to dodge much.

> Oh wait, no you don't charge after all.
> You continue to strafe her as she follows and throw another small barrage her way.  She moves slightly to the right, but still absorbs the brunt of the impact.  The beam wavers slightly, but continues towards you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep the strafing up and shooting up!
>Be wary of trickery from Mima. Because in her position, trickery is definitely the answer.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Keep the strafing up and shooting up!
>Be wary of trickery from Mima. Because in her position, trickery is definitely the answer.

> You continue your shooting rampage as you outpace the beam, Mima eventually relenting the beam to dodge your shots.
> She sure doesn't look happy!  She shouts an obscenity and snaps her fingers.
> Oh look, you're surrounded by Mimas again.  Did you strafe into the original circle?
> Mima levels her staff at you again, the others following suit.  In one voice, they proclaim "SPARK!"
> Yellow beams hurtle towards you from every angle.  Of all the places you could possibly be right now, this is the last place you'd like to be.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Forward, and angle between two of the oncoming beams.
>Our goal is to get out of the middle, and slip between two of  Mimai. Real or not. We just want to go between them and hopefully go between the sparks as well. Move forward to get out of the center of fire as quickly as possible. Full run.

> Oh god the last thing you want is to get hit!
> You take a leap forward, then run up parallel to a beam.  Unsurprisingly, they also start to follow you, but much quicker than Mima's solo beam.
> That edge seems impossibly far away now, but you pour on the steam and book it away from the mass congruence of beams hunting you.
> Your foot nicks one of the beams as you run, sending a shock of pain and heat through your body that feels completely unlike a danmaku hit.
> Mima screams again.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Try to ignore the pain. Let the ghostly shrieks inspire us. Keep running! between those beams!
>Keep that knife ready. If we get the opportunity, she is totally getting a shanking.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Try to ignore the pain. Let the ghostly shrieks inspire us. Keep running! between those beams!
>Keep that knife ready. If we get the opportunity, she is totally getting a shanking.

> The pain helps significantly with focus, namely focusing on kicking Mima's hopefully corporeal ass!
> You continue forward, the circle seeming to move with you somehow.
> The beams start to move independently, making your life just a touch harder than it had been.  You manage to keep ahead of them pretty well, when one suddenly swings in front of you at chest level!
> Your grip your new knife harder in your hand, ready to do some serious but non-threatening damage.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Are we still running between two of the beams?
>If so, assess whether we feel we could duck under this one in our path and keep going.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Are we still running between two of the beams?
>If so, assess whether we feel we could duck under this one in our path and keep going.

>Yes, and fast on your way to becoming a Spark-and-Toshiro sandwich, likely toasted if that last hit was any indication.
> It's high enough that you won't have to flatten yourself underneath it, and with a slide-tackle motion you should be able to keep your momentum.
> Mima screams again, but it's still far preferable to her cackling.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Slide tackle under that thing!
>If it's plausible, while running at full tilt, fire on some of the Mimai. See if we can eliminate a beam or two. Or the real one. But don't stop to do this or to locate the real one. Movement is key!

> Grass stains are the least of your worries!  You drop your hip hard and clear the beam easily before popping yourself back up and running again.  Seems you've stayed ahead of the chasing beams throughout that bit.
> You lob a few shots towards the Mima closest to your left.  As expected, it makes no attempt to dodge and vanishes after being hit, taking one of the immediate chasing beams with her.  A repeat performance to your right and you're now blessed with a much wider berth between chasing shots.
> So far you've eliminated 3 Mimas, leaving 9 to deal with, but none directly ahead.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Fire upon the Mimai to the left while keeping ahead of the beams.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Fire upon the Mimai to the left while keeping ahead of the beams.

> All this running would certainly impress...someone back home you think, but now's not the time to think about that!
> You turn left and go back to strafing, managing to pick off two more.
> From the corner of your eye, you see a beam on your left begin catching up.  The Mima behind you responsible for it screams again.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move away from the oncoming beam. Dispose of any convenient Mimai along the way.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Move away from the oncoming beam. Dispose of any convenient Mimai along the way.

> You turn right and hoof it ahead of the beam.  You've successfully eliminated all the Mimas to the front now, leaving only the ones behind you and the one on your right, who you highly suspect to be the real one, dragging a beam behind you.
> "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE NOW!" she cries.  As her beam gets closer, the remaining Mimas's beams begin to rotate clockwise.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Well if we can't escape, the only solution is to shoot her in the face until we have no time left to do it. So let's go with that.
>Keep moving and fire on the one that talked.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Well if we can't escape, the only solution is to shoot her in the face until we have no time left to do it. So let's go with that.
>Keep moving and fire on the one that talked.

> She's probably never felt the wrath of a true Deliverator before!
> You keep on with the running and turn towards Real-Mima, firing a few shots her way.
> She artfully dodges, slinging three shots in your path as her beam inches closer.
> Thankfully, you aren't in danger of running out of field, but fatigue is starting to set in.  You're not sure how much more punishment your legs can take.  A runner you are not.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep going, man.
>Do it for Momiji!
>Keep closing in, and if we can, give her the knife!

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Flight would be nice right about now!
> Start thinking the word Fly, with the hopes that we will.
